Taste History Culinary Tour (Delray Beach / Boynton Beach This Saturday, learn some history about Delray Beach and Boynton during a Taste History Culinary Tour. During the course of the three-hour-plus tour attendees will be bombarded with dozens of factoids about Florida, regional history, local businesses and buildings, and the roots of various traditional and modern cuisine. These are the kinds of random bits of knowledge (the Dutch helped introduce cookies to America, a bonafide Margherita pizza must include all three colors of the Italian flag, and so on) that are useful for dinner parties and bar trivia nights. The three-to-four hour tours are conducted mostly via air-conditioned bus, with tour creator Lori Durante narrating on a PA system from start to finish and providing time for questions at the various tour stops. Several blocks of walking are always included and the tour takes place rain or shine, so it's important to dress for the weather and wear comfy walking shoes. Tickets for the Taste Culinary Tour of Historic Palm Beach County are $35 per person. Spots are available for the tour this Saturday, May 16. Call 561-243-2662, or visit tastehistoryculinarytours.blogspot.com.

Summer Shack Pop-Up Grand Opening This summer, PB Catch (251 Sunrise Ave., Palm Beach) will be offering more than just high-end, sustainable seafood, however. On Saturday, May 16, the main bar will transform from upscale ambiance into a casual new pop-up experience known as the Summer Shack. A coastal-inspired lounge, Summer Shack will emulate the shabby-chic appeal of a beach weathered bungalow and will feature its own easy dockside-style menu complete with a list of summertime cocktails at the restaurant’s re-imagined bar and lounge space. According to PB Catch's primary proprietor Thierry Beaud, the idea for Summer Shack began with his desire to recreate the relaxed, carefree appeal of South Florida's laid-back beach life and tropical coastal setting. So head to PB Catch to grab a drink, a bite to eat, and relax.
